SO, have you booked that spring or summer holiday in the sun yet?
If you’re craving some time at the beach or by the pool, you’ll probably be thinking about updating your swimwear.
And since every body is different, there are bound to be some things you are happy to highlight, and other bits you’d rather downplay.
By using a few design elements to our advantage - like high waisted bikinis, tummy control panels and underwire support - those of us who fall into the more voluptuous, plus-size category can use our curves to feel more confident.
It’s also worth noting that since swimsuit styles are always changing, keeping an eye out for new silhouettes that could help you find a style to flatter your particular body shape.
Don't always fall back on the same old swimsuit - shop around and try out different styles, colours and combinations, from full-body swim-dresses, to tankinis, bikinis and kaftans.
